Now it is m `fask to summarize the ,re- sults of ourour, `difiic,ult though it is to sort out the importance of all, we've seen and done. We were in Britain in a time of• crisis when the unprecedented bad weather added to all the accumulated troubles' after the,. war. But none of 1 us can speak too highly of the hdspital- ity we -received everywhere we went. The British people have an unusually high regard for Canadians and this speaks volumes for the conduct of our men and women in the armed ' forces who ,Were .overseers during thc•-war. We were terribly disappointed that continuing snow and cold prevented any plowing whatever, And our hosts were equally. disappointed. I believe that if Canadian plowmen -drake the trip tiexi'year our British friends may arrange the matches for anothelt_ time • to make' sure the weather will not interfere. Another result is that Scotland's champion plowman, Bob Allen from ' the plans 'to compete' ie 1 t1 e -Inte}raational- 1ewlit --Mat-eh ••• at King • ston, Ont., next fall, You may re- member that British plowmen aettlal(y were booked to -sail on the Athenia 1939.

The normal rainfall in the Isles Is much heavier and the growing season is much- longer there. Labor is more plentiful,but the farmer- is hampered by the land ownership system and lack of machinery! Because most of .the farms are rented, the -farmers are not in a. position to modernize their buildings, and so they just carry on 'rhe, hard way, year after year. The buildings are .quite different from thotte in Canada ..and most of the hay .and grain is put in stacks or covered sheds, requiring much more hand labor than is common in -- our country. • A great many tractors are used for plowing and cultivating, but the major- ity: of farmers still Stick to the one - ,horse cart for hauling their crops and for drawing out the manure. I saw ouly one manure'sp,reader of the wheel type. Threshing machines. are still fed byhand, and, without a straw blower. Some have straw bundlers on the .back. The cylinders are of the rasp -bar type, because the British farmer wants his straw hi long lengths. Combines are on the increase, but needed Inachines won't be delivered for a year or more.

John Wiifiattis was talking the other day about how important our ex- porgDon," trade is to us. t' lou know, he said, "a lot of Canadians dont t realize what it means to have world markets for our grain and hogs. But history shows now that not even the strong- est countries can get along without selling to others." Well, I agreed with John all right, but I reminded hien it isn't only a matter of pro- duce like grain and hogs. Especially to us, the things called "invisible" exports like the tourist trade and life insurance are vital too. ' Did you know that about 40 per cent of all the life in- surance with Cainad4 in com- panies has been sold to people " o" aside Canada — in 64 other countries? No other coilntry 'exports" that much life insurance. Our compan- ies must be pretty famous for their efficiency and their safety.
